SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Purchase Contract for Right-of-Way Acquisition and Temporary Construction Easement at Strawberry Crest High School and David E. Bailey, Jr. Elementary School in Dover (the "Powers Property")

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

To complete the infrastructure and roadway improvements necessary at the Strawberry Crest High School and David E. Bailey, Jr. Elementary School campus located in Dover (the "School Campus"), additional properties for right-of-way need to be acquired. These right-of-way properties are for the installation of a sanitary sewer force main, stormwater improvements and road widening. School Board staff has retained an independent appraiser and cure expert to perform evaluations to establish the value of the acquisition area and for the performance of the cure plan method and cost. One of the properties is located on the northeast corner of East U.S. Highway 92 and Gallagher Road in Dover and is owned by Sue Darlene Powers, depicted on Exhibit "A", attached hereto (the "Powers Property"). It has been determined that 16,141 square feet will complete this portion of the acquisition at a value and a cost to cure of $83,065.00.

To finalize the sanitary sewer force main installation on a timely basis, School Board staff will request a temporary construction easement on the Powers Property to begin installation of the infrastructure prior to the acquisition closing.
